Started body work today, 30% done.

Will need some trimming in the front end, forgot the upper suspension arm clearance.  :banghead:

You would be better off using a lower gauge rod for the servo linkage. A triangular bend in the linkage will be another way to minimize servo damage.

Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

Trishit, I'm using bicycle spokes to link up the steering. Works fine for me, I've ordered a servo saver which I will be using.

Finally, the car is done and is running, a little too responsive, going to setup radio properly tomorrow.

Steering links must be tweaked a bit.

Too quick for my on 3S, will be running on 2S for sometime.

Body work, paint and lights still pending, it will be completed tomorrow and hopefully, I can post a video.

Hatsoff to you dude!
Really great work. It is one of a few cases where you see your design come to life

Added some paint to the body shell today, ran out of silver paint, so only that's pending.

Car trimmed and radio is setup.

Going to make a video tomorrow.

Added some skirt lights to give it a facelift in the dark. :D

Edit: Clear windscreen in front please.

I ran out of paint, so couldn't finish up the front end. Going to complete it tomorrow.

I'll just build a full scale version myself someday, Iyer sir. ;D

fabulous efforts .....is the car running ?? you have put wheel directly to motor.... initial torque will be less but later you will run out of space to see high speed!!!....

do post a video of the run.

Great build.

The similarities between this( apart from 3 wheels versus 4 :giggle:) and old pan cars are striking.

rastsaurabh, Thanks. Yes, the car is running.
It feels like there is a lot of torque on the start or maybe lack of traction since it's only one wheel at the rear, either way, I'm running on 50% throttle exponential to keep the wheel spins down.
It's definitely going to have a lot of high end speed on a 3S, not sure if it's safe for me to run it that fast without much driving experience.
Video coming up soon, haven't found a good place to run yet.


iamahuman, Thanks. I love pan cars! They can be such simplistic, yet notorious speedsters. ;D

You outdid yourself this time Anjan! Just don't ruin this beautiful ride with decals or graphics ;D

Trishit, probably, I thought I'd save Arduino traction control for another thread on another day. ;D
I have to go give an exam tomorrow, I'll draw the decals there. xD

Harkirat, thanks a lot man! :)

Building a traction control system for an RC car is the fun part! ;D

Painted the car green.

Finally, I found a school ground to run the car and I realized it's the worn out wheels that are making it run clumsy, handling is ok, definitely needs new wheels.

Crashed into the side of a wall a couple of times, upset the right camber a bit, but still good to go.

I love how fast it is, but anything above 40% throttle need pro driving skills, very fast.

Sharing the video tomorrow. :thumbsup:
